Supplementary Modules

Supplementary Modules

Elective modules of up to 30 CP can be replaced in individual cases by supplementary modules in terms of Section 26 of the FrameworkO. This does not apply to modules from PhD programmes and language courses offered by the Language Center of the University. Supplementary modules must be approved by the Examination Board before they are taken.

IDS Module Catalogue

IDS Module Catalogue

In the winter semester 2024/2025, the modules listed in the module catalogue are permitted for interdisciplinary studies in degree programmes at the BTU. Other modules may not be taken in the interdisciplinary studies.

Please note the negative lists of the study programmes in the module catalogue, which have been determined by the programme directors. Not all modules are permitted in every degree programme.

FÜS module catalog for the winter semester 2024/2025

The Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) serve to impart interdisciplinary knowledge that goes beyond the subject curricula. In doing so, the IDS does not take the place of the integrated teaching of competencies that is necessary from the perspective of the individual course of study, but supplements it with aspects that are independent of the subject.

Guideline for interdisciplinary studies

For the modules of the interdisciplinary studies, the examination registration is to be carried out online in modularized study programmes.

Ergänzungsmodule

Ergänzungsmodule

Wahlpflichtmodule im Umfang von bis zu 30 LP können in Einzelfällen durch Ergänzungsmodule im Sinne von § 26 der RahmenO ersetzt werden.

FÜS-Modulkatalog

FÜS-Modulkatalog

Im Wintersemester 2024/2025 sind für das Fachübergreifende Studium in Studiengängen an der BTU, die im Modulkatalog genannten Module zugelassen. Andere Module dürfen im Fachübergreifenden Studium nicht belegt werden.

Bitte beachten Sie im Modulkatalog die Negativlisten der Studiengänge, die durch die Studiengangsleitungen festgelegt wurden. Nicht in jedem Studiengang sind alle Module zugelassen.

FÜS Modulkatalog Wintersemester 2024/ 2025

Das Fachübergreifende Studium (FÜS) dient der Vermittlung über die Fachcurricula hinausgehender, überfachlicher Kenntnisse. Dabei tritt das FÜS nicht an die Stelle der aus der Sicht des einzelnen Studiengangs notwendigen und integrierten Kompetenzvermittlung, sondern ergänzt diese um fachunabhängige Aspekte.

Richtlinie für das Fachübergreifende Studium

Für die Module des Fachübergreifenden Studiums ist in modularisierten Studiengängen die Prüfungsanmeldung online vorzunehmen.
